Advanced Placement
The Advanced Placement (AP) program is a college credit-through-examination program administered at your high school in conjunction with the College Board.
More info...Typically, upper classmen are given the option to take an AP course equivalent and standardized test to determine mastery of subject content. Score results typically range from a low score of 1 to a high of 5. Generally, colleges will award credit in specific academic areas for test results of at least 3. Interested students should contact their high school guidance counselor or principal for more information.
